noticeable fact they are now being
fitted NJ, cleaned, whitewashed and
otherwise put in order nv though
no financial depression had ever

Through all the financial vicissi.

the Star Livery Stables have never
varied in price, except in conformi-
ty With surrounding circumstances,
and these prices have always been
uniform without respect to persons.
Good horses, nice comfortable bug
gies, neat and clean offices, warmed

Star Livery Stables. Mr.. Pickett
has now, in connection with his
stables a nice glass enclosed heafse,

town, winch he has fitted up so that
our people may enjoy the luxury of
a decent burial. With these ret1ec-

IRISH POTATOEs.


Mr.. A. III. Smith, of Moss Point,
presented us a few days ago with
some iue Early Rose Irish potatoes
raised by him this spring. Five of
them weighed 81 pounds aud one
measured 81 inches in circumfer-
eOce. Mr.. Smith kindly gave us
the manner of cultivation adopted
by him. He planted his potatoes
in the latter part of January, on
ground that bad not been in culti-
walton for some time. 1t was a

section, high aud dry, The plant.
ing was done by opening IA turrow
with a shovel rlow, in which was
drilled cotton seed meal about one
peck to every 100 yards and over it
IA layer OF Il mixture of barn yard
aud stable manure i'll the proportion
of a peck to every ten feet. The
potatoes were then cut in pieces to
separate the eyes and the fresh cut
pieces placed in the fertilizer about
- inches apart. They were then
covered in the list, leaving the mid
dies unbrOken. As soon as they
began to come mp aud crack the
ground they were borrowed off with
"a scooter and the middles broken
out and grass cut, if any. The
third and last working was done by
throwing the dirt to the potatoes
with a light turn pillow II along
the lower edge OF the ridge, follow
ed by rakiug the dirt upward.
They we're matured and ready for
digging about the middle of April.
The patch was about two acres, aud
from the crop made Mr., Smith
selected Of the largest size for sup
ment 225 bashelS of fine potatoes OF
which the above mentioned were
specimens The expenses incurred
in making the crop consisted of:

The Labor expended in making

$225.OO, from which is lett after
Geducting the $4,000 expense

condition and will mature a crop of
